California has long been a diverse place, starting with the mixture of European Spaniards and Native Americans. Throughout history, many different racial groups have moved to California, though they often faced unfair treatment and discrimination, as seen in the anti-Chinese movements and internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Today, California remains highly diverse, with the 2000 census finding that over 40% of the state's population is Hispanic, Asian, or from Central or South America.

Culture and politics of latin america
Latin America is ethnically diverse, with populations descended from indigenous peoples, Europeans, Africans, and immigrants from various parts of the world. While over 90% of Latin Americans are Catholic due to European colonization, the region has a history of European exploitation of resources and peoples, including the genocide of millions of Native Americans and enslavement of Africans over 300 years. In the 19th century, disease and violence had wiped out much of the indigenous population. Some countries gained independence in the early 19th century through wars of liberation against European powers, but economic and political instability continued until recent decades. Regional differences exist, such as Brazil's growing economy versus Bolivia's poverty.

Overview of the Latin American Region
Here is an overview of the Latin American region as a whole. We take a journey through history, art, culture, economics, and false myths about Latinos to discern the truth about this amazing region.
Afrocolombians
Afro-Colombians refer to people of African descent in Colombia who have had a significant impact on Colombian culture. They made up a large portion of Simon Bolivar's army that fought for independence from Spain. While slavery was not abolished until 1851, discrimination continued even after emancipation. Today, Afro-Colombians make up approximately 21% of Colombia's population and are concentrated along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, as well as in some larger cities. Their history begins with the importation of African slaves by the Spanish starting in the 1500s to work in mines, plantations, and other industries.
Short history of the spanish language
Spanish evolved from Vulgar Latin spoken in the Iberian Peninsula. The Roman conquest introduced Latin which mixed with the local Celtic and Iberian languages.

Today, Spanish is spoken by over 500 million people globally and is the second most spoken native language worldwide.

WWII
During the 1930s, Hitler denounced the Treaty of Versailles and took control of Germany's military. He withdrew Germany from the League of Nations and began seizing land in Europe starting with Poland. This put Europe into a state of war. The US began aiding Britain by selling weapons, ships, and planes in exchange for military bases and giving money to support Russia and Britain. After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, US sentiment changed and it joined the fight against the Axis powers.
Imperialism
After gaining control of North America, the US and European powers looked to expand their territories overseas in the late 19th century, seeking new markets, resources, and asserting their dominance through imperialism. While facing resistance from indigenous groups, the powers justified expansion through ideas of social Darwinism, spreading Christianity and civilization. American imperialism differed in its emphasis on spreading republican institutions and culture, though like European powers it sought to establish political and economic control globally.
California- Making it Happen/War and Peace
The document summarizes key events in California's history from the 1870s through the post-World War II period. It discusses the rise of large-scale agribusiness in the late 19th century and California's development of a migratory workforce. It also outlines the growth of the union movement in San Francisco and increasing tensions between unions and owners. During the Great Depression and World War II, California saw increased militarization and the suppression of strikes. The population boomed after World War II, and Californians began advocating for expanded university systems.
IV Imigration
This document discusses mass transatlantic migration between 1870-1914, when over 23 million immigrants arrived in the United States, most through Ellis Island. During this period, immigrants also ventured to other new world countries like Canada and Argentina seeking work. While intra-European migration was often a means to eventually leave for the new world, the scale and diversity of immigration to the US was much greater than in other countries. Native-born Americans increasingly resented immigrants and accused them of social and economic problems.
California
Josiah Royce published a book in 1908 arguing that as the world becomes more globalized, Americans cling to provincial identities like their home states. Literature in 1850s California focused on humor, history and memoir, shifting in later decades to include local color, journalism, poetry and nature writing connected to geology and economics. Southern California remained relatively unsettled through the 1870s, but a railroad reaching LA in 1870 began a period of infrastructure growth influencing architecture and layout with a Mediterranean style. By the late 1800s, northern California led in wheat while southern California specialized in citrus, vineyards and other intensive agriculture suitable for small landholders.
Conquering And Settling The West
The document discusses the conquest and settlement of the American West over the 19th century, comparing it to similar processes in other frontiers. White settlers including traders, missionaries, miners, ranchers, farmers, and railroad builders began exploiting the land and resources, disrupting indigenous cultures and stripping them of their lands. Similar patterns of tragedy and exploitation occurred during the European conquest of other parts of the world. The document examines similarities between the settlement of Montana by railroads in the 1880s and Kazakhstan by Soviet prison camps in the 1930s.
POWERPOINT COLLAB
The document summarizes key events in 19th century Latin American history:
1) Latin American countries gained independence from Spain and Portugal between 1807-1824, ending colonial rule and forming new independent nations.
2) In the early 19th century, Latin America was part of the Spanish and Portuguese empires but colonists complained about economic restrictions and taxation by the imperial powers.
3) By the 1820s, the Spanish and Portuguese empires had collapsed and newly independent Latin American countries found themselves unprepared for self-government with divided leaders and economies not diversified.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
